March 24, 2026, Breasts and Bras

 Breasts and Bras

Since no one is reading my posts these days I want to discuss as subject that lands near my heart.  Literally.  My Breasts.  My female parts developed early in life.  Periods started Memorial Day when I was 10 years old.   Breast growth was not far behind.  That development was now 68 to 69 years ago.  

My Aunt Billie helped me get my first bra, already a B cup.  Momma should have bought me one much earlier.  Oh, well.  By the time I was 12 the cup size was C.  Eventually the girls required DDD to be held in place.  I did noy consider the size anything other than a inconvenience.  Clothing had to be purchased for the DDDs.  That meant the shoulder seams would often hang an inch down my arms.  The weight on the straps permanently changed the shape of my shoulder area.

Reaching for items across a table required adjustments so the boobs did not knock something off the table.  Worse, if there were a plate of food, a boob might drag across some food item.  Always in the way even though they were considered by my Beloved to be Dlightful, Delicate, and Desireable.  I could actually go braless and still the girls were perky. Those days are now in the review mirror.  Honestly, those days are in another state.

Nursing a child, gravity, jumping, running, dancing, and just living have all had a very negative affect on the girls.  Yes, the girls still require DDD even though they sort of have to be rolled into place.  With no real muscle in breasts even the texture has changed.  Drastically changed.  Instead of firm and perky it is more like cream of wheat in a silk stocking.  Recently I suggested to Beloved that the DDD meanings have changed.  More like Dangling, Dreary, and Deflated.   He responded with a chuckle then said he still loved me and the girls.

As for the bras, the configuration and materials have changed through the years.  Cone shaped pointy things were the 1950 models I first wore.  Cups and materials have changed through the years.  As we were not wealthy, bras were cotton.  Later nylon and polyester were introduced in affordable prices.  These days a comfortable sports bra is my daily choice.  Well, those are the days I choose to contain the girls.  

This is probably more than anyone that might stop by at some point might wish to know about my breasts.  Welp, I do not care.  Close the page and move along.

If somewhere along the way you got a chuckle, great.

Y'all be good,
